Key questions
Is this an easy A?
High grades are possible, but students say the A depends on strict rubric-following, group work, deadlines, and sustained effort.
Online evidence repeatedly ties grades to effort and group projects, while in-person evidence is too split to change the overall judgment.
Is the course easy?
The content is not described as conceptually impossible, but the 6-unit research workload and project structure make it demanding.
Online reviews describe a manageable but stressful course, while in-person reviews conflict between very easy and very difficult experiences.
Is attendance flexible?
Attendance is consistently marked mandatory, and one online review says it met four days per week.
Both online and in-person records mark attendance as mandatory, with the clearest detail coming from online reviews.
Is this professor recommended?
Students are evenly split because some praise her help and feedback while others warn against vague, harsh grading.
Online reviews are polarized with both strong praise and strong complaints, while in-person reviews are also split across only two comments.

Classroom format
Low confidence · Best fit for Effort For Reward
In-person evidence is very mixed, with one strong warning about vague grading and one strong praise for organization and teaching.

What students said
“I would not advise taking this teacher.”
“She was the most organized professor I had for my Psychology major and I loved the way she teaches.”
Remote format

What students said
“This is a 6-unit class; expect it to be challenging.”
“Attendance mandatory, 4 days/w.”
“Exams are easy and multiple choice, but the individual and group assignments are the bulk of your work.”
